In 2025, global 5G mmWave chipset production reached approximately 1.28 m units, the average price is 320 usd/unit. 5G mmWave chipset refers to the core integrated circuit set dedicated to realizing the communication function of 5G millimeter wave frequency band (usually refers to the range of 24GHz to 100GHz). It is usually integrated in mobile phones and other terminal equipment, including millimeter wave RF transceiver, antenna tuner, beamforming controller and related baseband processing unit and other key components, responsible for completing the generation, modulation, transmission, reception, demodulation and fast and accurate control of beam pointing of high frequency signals, which is the key hardware foundation for realizing 5G ultra-high bandwidth and ultra-low delay.

Market Concentration and Key Players:

Internationally, the market concentration of 5G millimeter wave chipset is relatively high, mainly concentrated in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan. For example, large manufacturers such as Qualcomm and MediaTek; domestically, manufacturers of 5G millimeter wave chipsets include Huawei, etc.

Manufacturing Processes and Market Trends:

The manufacture of 5G millimeter wave chipsets is a cutting-edge semiconductor process. At its core is the use of compound semiconductor materials such as gallium arsenide or gallium nitride to fabricate RF front ends because these materials have excellent electron transport characteristics at high frequencies. The manufacturing process begins with sophisticated wafer processing, which uses thin film deposition, photolithography and etching to build extremely fine transistor and circuit structures on wafers. These chip-carrying wafers are then diced into dies and highly integrated into a tiny module by advanced packaging techniques such as antenna packaging or fan-out packaging, which is key to ensuring high frequency signal integrity and compact design.

The current market trend is unfolding with the deep deployment of 5G networks. The initial application focuses on smart phones and fixed wireless access terminals, and the penetration into high-end IoT devices, extended reality devices and autonomous vehicles will accelerate in the future. The main line of technology evolution is to continuously improve integration to reduce cost and size, and enhance the agility and accuracy of beamforming. Energy efficiency and thermal management are ongoing challenges that drive innovation in chip design and packaging technology. At the same time, in order to further reduce deployment costs, chipsets are moving towards supporting more frequency bands and higher carrier aggregation capabilities, and actively exploring convergence with sensing technologies. Overall, the market is moving from early high-end applications to a broader, more efficient and smarter scale commercial phase.
